So what and where do you cut, then, to stop government doing "too much too often"? That is one point from the TAL story that I found interesting - Norquist refused to commit to saying "X program needs to be cut by Y%," preferring to talk about reforms that would take pensions from, well, pensions and turn them into 401(k)s and the like. Obamacare is, what, $1.5 trillion over 10 years? Besides that being cuts on those least able to bear it (Ryan's budget totally cuts out subsidies to allow the poor to buy insurance), that's a drop in the bucket of total ten-year deficits. What else do you cut?
